Not the normal weaver and one that not many will have seen before. A very striking bird and one that I have only ever seen once. Captured on a trip to the Kruger October 2005. All c & c welcome

Nice looking bird but too soft for me.

Like Craig says, a cool bird but really soft which is a shame

Echo the above........

Exposure looks to be near perfect Dave - but way too soft for me too

Too bad you missed focussing. It's a great looking bird and you got it from quite close distance.
Cheers,
Marko

Hello Dave
Yes, the image is soft, but I used some imaging software, and USM at 20,30,1, to get a bit more out of it - hope you don't mind.
Best wishes
Phil

Sorry Dave, I should have said I used "Photokit Capture Sharpener Expert by Pixel Genius, it does save some time.
